Title: Homicide Followed by Suicide in Hong Kong 1989-2001: A Report for the Hong Kong Lotteries Fund Advisory Committee
Summary: Homicide followed by suicide is a rare but catastrophic event that typically involves the murder of family members and in Hong Kong accounts for a high proportion of all child homicides. This report describes the known characteristics of homicide by suicide events, both victims and offender, and notes that homicides followed in suicide in Hong Kong differed in a variety of ways from those reported in other jurisdictions but as elsewhere were usually a particular form of family or domestic homicide.
